NAY PYI TAW January 31

The National Defence and Security Council of the Republic of the Union of   Myanmar held meeting No 1/2025 at the Office of the State Administration Council Chairman in Nay Pyi Taw this morning.

     In order to cause injuries to both peaceable civilians and administrative authorities who are striving to restore the rule of law, extreme terrorists provide financial assistance and instigate destructive activities, such as detonating explosive devices and remote blasting, against public roads, railways, government offices and houses.

    Insurgents committing terrorist activities have been engaging in battles, firing heavy weapons and improvised rockets and dropping bombs using drones into the public towns, wards and villages.

    In some townships across States and Regions, terrorists motivated by a radical ideology that views “anyone with differing views is an enemy” are conducting violent assaults and assassinations. Their targets are administrative officials and innocent civilians who do not support their terrorist acts. Using firearms and knives, these terrorists are committing brutal assassinations after accusing them of “spies, informants or decoys”.

THE day temperature helps strawberry production stronger, leading the price to fall continuously.
“Price is falling continuously. Strawberries grow more when the temperature gets high. So the production is large. But the production is low when it rains,” said Ma Sandi Taya, a fruit trader from Taunggyi Township.
